Clark drapes donated and thrifted ties around his neck, shortly before handing them out to all the students of Boys to Men at Lost River Elementary. Clark is always accepting tie donations to send home to the members of Boys to Men. “I have to coordinate getting each one of these boys a button down, belt, pair of khakis, and a tie. And sometimes we just don’t have the sizes for all of them,” says Clark.
